This review is from: The Baby Emergency Handbook: Lifesaving Information Every Parent Needs to Know (Paperback)

what i liked most was the pull-out cpr guide! the book was well organized with color coded pages and a section to fill in your own info (local emergency #s, family #s ...) with the idea that you keep the book with baby at all times. the only reason i gave it 4 stars is that in a real emergency once you find the page you need, the section is written out in paragraph form. i would prefer the steps to be bulleted or something easier to get when you're in a hurry. overall, i liked this book and thought it had a lot of helpful information. it will be useful for us.
